Fodor's Expert Review Lake Victoria Serena Golf Resort and Spa

Thanks to the new ExpressWay road, this resort has come of age, and visitors to this pastel-hue citadel on Lake Victoria happily trade off the remote position for the plush comfort of this 5-star hotel's rooms and extensive facilities. On a windswept headland roughly equidistant between Kampala and Entebbe, Lake Victoria Serena has become a popular getaway for Kampala residents, in addition to its association with Uganda’s best golf course. A boating marina, pool, tennis courts, and Maisha Health Club and Spa within a terracotta maze of porticos and scented gardens make this a comfortable spot to wind down post-safari. Babysitting services, special menus, a children's pool, and interconnecting rooms make this hotel a solid choice for families.
